Change your gender on your official ID

If you’ve changed your gender, or if your gender has been wrongly recorded, you can update your official identification. You can record your gender as M (male), F (female) or X (indeterminate/unspecified).

Change your passport

To change the gender on your passport, complete a new passport application form. This is the same form you would use if you were applying for a passport for the first time — you can't use the passport renewal form.

You'll need to include the statutory declaration in the application stating which gender you want displayed in your passport, and how long you've maintained this gender identity. You can show your preferred sex or gender without these details also being changed on your birth or citizenship record.

You'll need to meet all the other usual passport requirements, and pay the standard fee.

If you've changed your legal name, you can update the name on your passport at the same time.
